cannot move objects or images

Try the general troubleshooting steps:

If it doesn't help, try to revert to 19.3 - you can do so from the Creative Cloud app:

Will it make a difference?

Also, what's your operating system version?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

upgraded indesign to 19.4 yesterday with middle east language format. today, although i can select or resize an object or photo, i cannot move them using either a tablet, a mouse or the trackpad. i am only able to move objects/photos using keyboard arrows.
